FO R2: Murray vs Nieminen

What time will that be - as we all know Andy is not a morning person! Well it appears there are some benefits to beigng signed off sick for two weeks!!! Will get to see Andy's match, hopefully for the next few days, please stay in the slam Andy!

Courier was v. interesting about Andy today. He said just b4 AO semi Lendl was on the practise court with Andy encouraging him to hit ferocious forehands. Perhaps this, and second serve, are the main focus. Hope so.Courier also said Andy had "plenty he can improve." This was just music to my ears.

Yes indeed he seemed to think that wehave not quite seen the best of Andy, that he had no reached his peak and that Lendl was helping him to get there - noted from the practice sessions he had watched. Courier is so interesting to listen to because he comes out with things I have never heard of and he seems to think Lendl will help Andy achieve his aims.

Sorry you're sick but relax and watch the tennis - you'll be well soon.

11am Paris time MM so not too bad. It does mean probably small crowd so no atmosphere but as they're saying there might be showers tomorrow perhaps no bad thing to get the match out of the way.I like the way they move the top 4 around the main courts so they're not giving one of them an advantage over the others, at least so far - French egalite in action.

Seems much fairer than the US open where the scheduling is a joke. Will have to have to ensure that I am in front of the TV before 10.00am. OMG I will have to miss Jeremy Kyle, my main staple TV diet since being signed off!!!

I'm not too happy. Andy isn't a morning person (and neither am I!). And it isn't like he just gets out of bed, has his breckie and then walks onto the court, but has to do all sorts of preparation first including some practice. Also he's happier when there's a crowd, even if they are urging on his opponent. Still it should be an interesting match given that this is their first meeting on clay.

Id definetly choose Andy to play Ferrer above the likes of Berdych or Del Potro. Ferrer is Nadal-lite and I'd fancy Andy to win. But don't jump the gun because Ferrer has a poor recent record at RG and there's a good chance he won't even make the quarter-finals.

Ferrer has been playing outstandingly against everyone but Rafa on clay this year. I think the critics may be right. Courier keeps touting Isner to be the potential upsetter of the top 4 but I think Ferrer is going to do well and at make the QF at least
